I am sure she will be delighted to include the book - and other books that so far are not listed. http://www.speedwaymuseumonline.co.uk/welcome.html Edited February 9, 2020 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,855 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) This is a good list. Plus a book about Speedway in Singapore, which I only noticed a couple of weeks back looks interesting http://www.speedwayplus.com/ https://www.blurb.com/b/8090015-singapore-speedway-1930 Edited February 9, 2020 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's up to the authors and publishers to ensure their books are listed/quoted. May I suggest PotterAround that you rectify these absences by creating your own website and detail the missing speedway books there?

Why on earth would I want to create a website listing the titles of a hundred or so speedway books? But since you felt the need to start a topic about a list of speedway books, I'd have expected it to include a lot more of the huge number of well known and popular books, and not just a tiny selection, containing mostly the lesser ones. It just seems pointless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
